Nanotecnologia (applicazione nella produzione di alimenti)

[Autom. eng. transl.] The contribution proposes an ethical-legal framework, mainly in Europe and partly in the US, with respect to the main issues that nanotechnologies have placed - and still continue to pose - in the developments they have known in the food sector. The intent is to highlight how the different typical frameworks, which the European and US legal systems tend to propose in the area of intervention in question, reveal the existence of "diversified civic epistemologies", that is peculiar regulatory styles which, in their ability to combine specific argumentative languages from an epistemic and normative point of view, they are difficult to interchange from one order to another.
